Strive to be the kind of person your horse will follow freely
There’s a saying amongst animal lovers: “I want to be the person my dog thinks I am” They are so loving and loyal…. horses are a bit different. They will love you in their own way, but they do require your honesty and clarity, or they call you out.
I can’t help but strive for honesty and clarity when I’m around a horse, honesty in my own thoughts and emotions, clarity in my leadership and what I’m asking for.
They are a guiding force in my life, and I know I’m on a good track as a human if I’m the kind of person my horse willingly follows.
That’s the north star, the guiding moment that occurs when you and your horse move as one unit. You’re in a smooth and easy conversation that elevates you both. That moment may last an entire ride or a few steps, but it’s the underpinning of why I ride. Why despite falls and pain and frustration, I come back in search of that moment.
If that’s what you seek welcome to North Star Horse.
